Wellington runs on coffee, but only a few places are truly award-worthy. When we get coffee, we want the option of having something to eat with it. We want a good selection of reading material while we wait. We want witty banter and/or eyecandy from the barista. And naturally, the coffee has to be excellent as well!

Elastic Solids
Tonight at Deluxe Cafe is an opening featuring new works from Paul Bradley. Many of the works are painted on used coffee sacks stretched over recycled wooden window frames and there are also some prints from a new series of screen printed drawings.
So far I have only seen him in his incarnation as a VJ, so it will be interesting to see what he can do with a coffee sack.
What: Elastic Solids Art opening (details here)
Where & When: Deluxe Cafe, 8 Kent St from 6.30pm tonight
